#002 Ft. Felicity Furey, AFR Top 100 Women of Influence, 2xCo-Founder, Engineer, TEDx Speaker + more
In this episode, we welcome our first guest, Felicity Furey. Having been named one of the Australian Financial Review's Top 100 Women of Influence after Co-Founding both The Power of Engineering & Machinam Pty Ltd, I am thrilled to welcome Felicity to The Campus Experience! Check out our interview where we discuss:
- Felicity’s first steps into leadership;
- The moment The Power of Engineering was born;
- Taking calculated risks & finding funding;
- Seeking support from mentors & the power of personal branding (through speaking engagements);
- Resilience & self-belief stemming from being 1 of just 12 women in an engineering class of 120 during her studies at QUT & then hearing "careful... she could 'influence' you" from a colleague after winning the AFR Top 100 Women of Influence award!
In Felicity’s humble account of her journey, she’s quick to give credit to her Co-Founders, her teams & her mentors, & I took so much away from this conversation.
